Another hint, this port also gives access to these wonderful villages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am wondering if the port is Kanazawa which I have visited but not on a cruise. The houses look like those at Shirikawa-go which I think is close enough to Kanazawa to visit on a long shore excursion. The famous gardens would be the Kenrokuen Gardens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluesea777 Posted October 10, 2020 #1240 Share Posted October 10, 2020 We have not been on any of the HAL ships but we have been on many cruises with NCL, and I am wondering if I can be permitted to contribute a few pictures of my own. They will be places that I'm sure HAL ships have been to or still go to. I'll try not to show the NCL ships, unless you want me to 🙃 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay - has to be somewhere further north of Nuuk on the west coast of Greenland. Near Ilulissat. Has to be above or close to Arctic Circle. Is it Disko Island?

Is it Jan Mayen island in North Atlantic Ocean? Jan Mayen is correct! We were sailing from Iceland to Spitzbergen and sailed along the west side of the island. It was a formal night and I remember standing out on the promenade deck in a suit freezing my tail off while I took pictures. We also spotted a whale between the ship and the island. At that time of year the sun never goes down, it only gets close to the horizon, so we had to use clothes pins to hold the window drapes closed to make it dark enough to sleep. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
